Frequently asked questions

Must every employer pay unused leave?

That cannot be generalized; check the law, contract and policy that apply to you.

Is the result a guaranteed take-home pay?

No. Taxes, insurance, allowances and deductions vary by employer and jurisdiction; use the calculator as a mathematical estimate only.

Should time periods be consistent?

Yes. When comparing pay, hours or deductions, keep the same period so weekly, monthly and annual figures are not mixed.
